[Konrad Becker's new "Strategic Reality Dictionary" will be launched on
September 29 at Eyebeam in New York - a good occasion to freely distribute
the preface. As I page through an old tome from the annals of strategic
subversion, Marcuse's "Eros and Civilization," the closing lines of this
short text ring truer than ever. -- best, BH]

When I first met Michael Moore more than 20 years ago he was showing a
half-finished documentary to a few dozen people in a classroom in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. It was funny and poignant and had a powerful message. He had taken
a second mortgage on his house - equipment for filmmaking was a lot more
expensive back then - and raised some money from like-minded locals for a
long-shot venture. We all loved what he showed us but thought he would be
lucky if a few thousand people got to see it.

Many works of science fiction and fantasy portray libertarian societies or otherwise bear relevance to libertarianism; this list names some that I consider the most essential reading for anarchists, anti-authoritarians, libertarians, and whatnot.
